In today’s Internet a user can be adversely affected by other users that overload the router. To address this problem, routers need to provide flow isolation. In this paper, we...
This work considers switching fabrics with distributed packet routing to achieve high scalability and low costs. The considered switching fabrics are based on a multistage structu...
Two schools of thoughts have emerged over the recent debate on internet router buffer sizing. One school argues that the presence of a large number of flows leads to traffic desync...
— Buffered crossbar (CICQ) switches have shown a high potential in scaling Internet routers capacity. However, they require expensive on-chip buffers whose cost grows quadratical...
